Gary Neville believes that Graham Potter may have been relieved with Chelsea's decision to sack him after it was confirmed that the former Brighton boss had left Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Potter, 47, was prised away from the south coast to succeed Thomas Tuchel back in September but was axed less than seven months after penning a lucrative five-year contract with the Blues languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League.
24 hours on from Potter's departure, the decision has been queried by various footballing people. And Neville has offered an alternative view on how Potter may have taken the news.
